Quinta Studio 1:32 F/A-18A Small version is the reduced variant of the three-dimensional (3D) interior decal for the single-seat version of the Hornet in 1:32 scale. Base kit: Academy.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is an accessory set, not a kit of the aircraft. Quinta Studio prints the interior elements three-dimensionally and already in color onto decal paper, so the instrument panel, the consoles and the control panels gain relief and color at the same time, with no painting of tiny dials. The name designates it as the Small version, that is the smaller equivalent of the set for the same aircraft; the basic set without that designation is a separate item and covers the interior to a wider extent. Dimensionally it follows the Academy kit.
The F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine carrier-borne multirole aircraft with a wing with folding tips and a pair of vertical tails. The A version is the single-seat form of the first production generation of the type, that is a machine with the cockpit equipment of its day, which differs from the later upgraded machines. The interior set therefore has to be chosen according to the particular version, otherwise the instrument panel will not match the subject.
Quinta three-dimensional decals are released from the backing paper in water: the part is soaked in lukewarm water for about fifteen seconds and slid off the paper into place. It has no adhesive layer of its own and holds on gloss varnish, with which you go over the painted and degreased interior surface. Do not use a decal softener or a setting solution at all, as they would damage the printed resin layer. So spray the cockpit first and let the paint cure thoroughly. The exact procedure is given in the instructions enclosed with the set. Pick the parts up with smooth-jawed tweezers, seat them dry and only then press them home. Do not paint over the relief; at most bring it out with a dark wash into the recesses.
This is not a kit of the aircraft but an accessory set. The Academy base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
